2-9-2010 6:00 PM, Temp. 34.6 F, Wind Calm, The Hi for today was 49.9 F and a low of 34.6 F, which is the current Temp. The Temperature is continuing to fall. Rainfall for today was .25"
2-9-2010 8:43 AM, Temp. 44.8 F, Wind Calm, Rain earlier this morning but has quit for now, overnight low was 41.8 F, the forecast calls for a hi today of 49F. Tonight's low should be in the mid 20's and tomorrows high in the low 40's. The Following is from the ABC 33/40 Weather site @ www.abc3340.com

AN ICY WIND: Northwest winds will increase this afternoon, gusting as high as 25 mph, bringing in much colder air. Temperatures will fall into the 30s this afternoon, and there could be enough lingering moisture for a few snow flurries across the northern half of the state. All of the precipitation will end by late afternoon, and we will forecast gradual clearing tonight with lows down in the mid 20s by daybreak tomorrow. Tomorrow and Thursday will be cold and dry with highs in the 40 to 45 degree range.

POTENTIAL WINTER STORM FRIDAY: The next system in the southern branch of the jet stream will impact Alabama on Friday, and with a very cold airmass in place, the stage is set for potential winter storm conditions across the Deep South. It is too early to be specific; we really need to get today’s weather system out of here before we get deal with accumulation possibilities, but computer model data suggests several inches of snow could fall over parts of Alabama, with the best moisture axis actually showing up south of Birmingham. Seems like the “sweet spot” could very well be somewhere between I-20 and U.S. 84. This system does have the potential for some travel difficulties, but again it doesn’t make too much sense trying to get into deep detail at this early stage of the game. Keep an eye on our forecasts in coming days; it promises to be pretty interesting.

SUNSHINE TO RETURN TODAY: The sun will make a return appearance today. At least for a little while. At least we think it will. It had better hurry, because clouds will be thickening again tonight in advance of our next storm system. Highs today should make the middle 50s across the area.

RAIN TONIGHT/TUESDAY: By tonight, low pressure will be forming over Louisiana. Rain will move into the state late tonight. Rainfall amounts will average one half to three quarters of an inch. As the rain ends from the west during the day Tuesday, colder air will follow. As temperatures fall, there could be a brief changeover to snow before the precipitation ends completely. No problems are anticipated. Temperatures Tuesday night will fall into the lower and middle 20s. Wednesday will feature clearing skies, but with cold air advection occurring on the back of a strong northwesterly wind, the mercury will struggle to get out of the 30s.

WEEKEND WEATHER: More miserable conditions today with cloudy, windy and cold weather, along with a little drizzle at times. Sunday will feature gradually improving weather, with sunshine returning during the day.

THE WEEK AHEAD: The beginning of the week will feature increasing clouds as our next system approaches, bringing us rain for late Monday night and Tuesday. Wednesday will feature colder weather. By Thursday, the next storm system will be swinging our way. That system will bear watching as it could combine with cold air to produce some snow for parts of the South. Not a forecast yet, with lots of uncertainty and disagreement among the models.

The Following is from the ABC 33/40 weather Blog TONIGHT: I don’t think lightning will light up our sky tonight with cool, stable air in place, but it will rain pretty much all night long, with additional rain amounts of 1 inch likely, with storm totals from 1 to 2 inches. Good sleeping weather. Winds will pick up a bit as a surface low passes just south of us, perhaps gusting to 20 mph at times late tonight.
